AGDQ 2026

[sharp patrol]

Turret lives matter

Do you smell neurotoxin?

[heady hemlock]

Hold on, the neurotoxin levels are going down!

[sharp patrol]

Are you guys watching the GOTY speedrun

[buoyant oak]

Sorry, got DnD

[full cipher]

which game is goty

[sharp patrol]

Astrobot

[full cipher]

didnt princess peachs showtime come out this year though

[heady hemlock]

kirbyyy

[ivory siren]

Kirby Air ride!

this game was my jam ... still is my jam

it's a lot of fun

and city trial leads to some wacky stuff

[heady hemlock]

i kinda wish that we could see the runners hands

just to see all the controllers at work

[ivory siren]

yeah fair enough

[ivory siren]

Mega Man Speedruns are always so clean

[heady hemlock]

ooh better bingo

[teal ridge]

uhhh

why did gdq think bringing the housing crisis was a funny idea/joke 💀

[sharp patrol]

GOTY

[heady hemlock]

The PS5's one game

aside from Concord

[heady hemlock]

golly i love astro boy

[heady hemlock]

why are we playing as human cozy glow

[sharp patrol]

VOD thread is up and pinned

[sharp patrol]

WW vod time

[sharp patrol]

Such a strong start to the WW speedrun

[sharp patrol]

Unplug it and plug it back again, twice. Why did nobody think of that?

[sharp patrol]

UFO 50 looks like it could be a lot of fun for speedruns

Pet those dogs 🥊

11/10 for Pizza Possum and its run

[heady hemlock]

well i gotta wait for the peglin vod

need to see how i can cheese my way to that last achievement I need

[sharp patrol]

It was a lot of bombs, plus tripleshot

But I don't really know. Looked like a regular run and suddenly he was OP

[sharp patrol]

I'd 100% watch them speedrun all 50 games

At least 10 or something, 4 feels like so few

[heady hemlock]

such a round even number it's staying on

AHHHHH

[sharp patrol]

Warptank played masterfully looks so good

Flashy as fucc

[heady hemlock]

It's like VVVVVV with guns

[sharp patrol]

What a waste, can't think of a less interesting Mario Maker run that to play the standard Nintendo levels

[heady hemlock]

Hopefully the Sonic Origins later on will be more interesting

[heady hemlock]

wait i don't remember this on the schedule

[heady hemlock]

alright new roguelike run

I have this on my wishlist but I promised myself I would get through the gungeon games first before getting any new rogues

[heady hemlock]

Every time they show a botw run it always changes and I find that fascinating

[heady hemlock]

oh a rhythm hack and slash roguelike

onto my wishlist it goes

[heady hemlock]

i will still probably do my tradition of trying to name a pokemon incentive "Fluttershy"

but in my heart i know it's probably gonna lose to "Luigi"

[sharp patrol]

Kaizo time

[heady hemlock]

100% too

[sharp patrol]

SHLORB

omg

What a gaffe

[jolly temple]

so far I've just watched Portal 2 and am partway through Wind Waker, due to familiarity with the games

any runs stand out so far?

[sharp patrol]

Power Rangers had a great couch but I only caught a little of it. Astrobot is basically an Mario Galaxy if you enjoy watching that type of movement

Pizza Possum I still don't know what it was about but it was an 11/10

UFO 50 is neat but it was only 4 of the 50 games

Yakuza, but I'm biased

Kaizo, currently being run, has some good moments

This runner is accidentally funny

SHLORB

[heady hemlock]

i think the next run is like 4 players on screen for Super Mario Bros

which'll be fun

[sharp patrol]

I was wondering what SMB1 with an estimate of 30m was doing in a GDQ

[heady hemlock]

ah STA is Simultaneous Time Attack that makes sense

[sharp patrol]

I gotta watch this block, it's gonna be big memes

Gotta be

[heady hemlock]

oh this is PAIN

[sharp patrol]

BIG IVY

That's such a good plushie

[heady hemlock]

uhh

[sharp patrol]

This is neat

[heady hemlock]

this is insane on a technical level

we're running it back

did he just

[sharp patrol]

What a flex

What a steal!

[heady hemlock]

oh this is new

[sharp patrol]

This is great

Such a unique entry into GDQ history

[heady hemlock]

that was a fun little game

[sharp patrol]

Runner was great

[heady hemlock]

watching the peglin run cause r&c is 3 hours

having the game dev on call is nice

[heady hemlock]

well time to lose

[heady hemlock]

makin a difference

[buoyant oak]

Big booty luigi

[sharp patrol]

[sharp patrol]

Alright! Up next, the forgotten Resident Evil games

Am I....Ark Thompson?

[sharp patrol]

$550k by the start of the fourth day seems like a pretty good pace

But I don't know for sure

[sharp patrol]

Jickles

[sharp patrol]

Lmao, why shoot zombies when you can just not look at them

[sharp patrol]

The machine spirit were very angry at the start of the WH40k run

Something tells me this guy has a garbage connection and didn't tell anyone when submitting to do a run from home

[sharp patrol]

Oh no, vtuber

[sharp patrol]

WORLD RECORD

[ivory siren]

yooo

[full cipher]

https://youtu.be/RziP5mvacUM?t=295

[sharp patrol]

Damn, a Clippy speedrun

(not pregnant)

[heady hemlock]

I think I need an adult

[sharp patrol]

omg the Batman Forever run was insane and hilarious

[heady hemlock]

Oh another blindfolded run coming up

[heady hemlock]

i'm sorry it was called loop what

[sharp patrol]

Pokemon time soon

[full cipher]

which game

the good one?

[sharp patrol]

Let's Go! Pikachu/Eevee

I think Eevee

[full cipher]

Cmon...

thats gotta be the worst one to run

[sharp patrol]

Probably. I'll check it out a bit

[full cipher]

you wont when you find out whats going on on NLs stream

[sharp patrol]

I have to catch up on the previous parties

[full cipher]

this aint no party brother

[heady hemlock]

only lost by like 2200 we'll get them next time

[sharp patrol]

The pidgey of all time

[heady hemlock]

man I forgot how much they went full babymode on this game

[sharp patrol]

I think a 4yo could beat it yeah

I might watch this as a VOD at 1.5x speed, but not live

[ornate oasis]

two best sister's play

😌

[sharp patrol]

Unfinished run lmao

Glad they're not prolonging it, waiting for that piano%

[heady hemlock]

it's not a pokemon gdq run if something doesn't go terribly wrong

[sharp patrol]

So true

Oh shit, it's "Awful" block tomorrow

[ivory siren]

woo, there's always some interesting games then

also "Any% while playing piano"?

for the next game

what

how do you speedrun Super Mario Bros wii while playing a piano

[heady hemlock]

very carefully

[ivory siren]

hah yeah,

[sharp patrol]

Holy multitasking

[ivory siren]

this is pretty wild a setup yeah

[heady hemlock]

so it's not like the drum run

[sharp patrol]

This is insane

[heady hemlock]

he's just multitasking

[ivory siren]

I wonder how much practice it took to play pianno and get all the inputs/reactions in the game

[sharp patrol]

Nah get the fuck out of here

He's playing and playing and talking

I want to see a scan of his brain during this

[ivory siren]

He wrote the arrangements too?

hah yeah, a brain scan would be fun

[heady hemlock]

dog on the couch

[ivory siren]

looks like a guide dog? or is that just a different style of harness?

[ivory siren]

this has been fun to watch so far, have to head off but enjoy the continued stream folks

[sharp patrol]

WEEEEEEE

[heady hemlock]

When do we get to the ride

[sharp patrol]

CLUTCH

Great run, what a finale

[heady hemlock]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5DYtXKEBsg

now he's gonna do it blindfolded

[sharp patrol]

Totally a normal thing

[heady hemlock]

man these category stacks

we're gonna get Super Mario 64 Blindfolded Drum Bingo Lockout in a couple years

[heady hemlock]

Todd Howard you've done it again

i'm far more invested in the back couch going insane over horse tilt

[teal ridge]

"Thanks Satan"

welp, that's surely not gonna cook up some people

[heady hemlock]

just like god intended

[teal ridge]

25% madness

[heady hemlock]

https://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick/clip/FilthyTangibleHamsterBIRB-1TjVayIhxyJAu5TN

[sharp patrol]

Awful block will always be the best

[teal ridge]

Agreed

yeeEEEEEHAAAAWW

[sharp patrol]

The real question is why wasn't Batman Forever in this block

This cutscene is so great they put it at the end of every level

Me during Awful Block

[sharp patrol]

Awful Movies Done Quick

This is incredible

Brossentia is having an existential crisis

[sharp patrol]

MEEGAH MEM

Game of the year

[heady hemlock]

For a second I forgot this was a Simpsons bit

[sharp patrol]

Same, until he took the one step and it gameover'd

Then I unlocked a core memory

Great Awful Block, everything was worth watching

Hylics 2: I didn't know Dali made a video game

[heady hemlock]

[sharp patrol]

I played this game so much 30 years ago

[ivory siren]

ooh dark forces? I've not seen much of this

[sharp patrol]

That's a genuinely funny pun: What's the temperature inside of a tauntaun? || Lukewarm ||

[sharp patrol]

TOTK!!!

[full cipher]

you know we're watching this run next week when midterm evaluations are done

[sharp patrol]

weak

[sharp patrol]

Omg the humming

I'm sorry did you say something I can't hear you over the sound of my 8 swords

⛳

[sharp patrol]

The fights are incredible.

Great run

Runner desperately trying to make the couch stall
Couch: .....

[mellow pawn]

"any shoutouts from couch?"
silence

[sharp patrol]

Cloud made that look almost natural, huge props

[mellow pawn]

yeah elite stalling skills displayed there

[teal ridge]

Pass:BAH

[heady hemlock]

so glad those dogs are being shot with tranqs

This is exactly how I remember CoD

[heady hemlock]

Time for that rhythm stuff

[heady hemlock]

1 million by thrusday

[heady hemlock]

Ooh I love BPM

[sharp patrol]

Damn, nothing worth watching today until late into the evening

[heady hemlock]

the good part of having the day off is that i can sleep through the entireity of FF7

[sharp patrol]

Same as the runner and the audience then

[teal ridge]

what is even this game

[heady hemlock]

So a blue hero is moving fast to defeat round bald robots with animals trapped inside of them while trying to defeat his rotund adversary

[sharp patrol]

Close enough: welcome back Rainbow Dash

[sharp patrol]

I really cannot imagine being a FF speedrun enjoyer

Like, I've played 512 hours of the Trails series and you could not catch me dead watching a 6h speedrun of any of them

[buoyant oak]

https://youtu.be/s9o6Crshhuc?si=xnRdPZimVJ9gTrWg

Kusogrande is great

It's a tournament where people speedrun games they have never played before

The games are always some freak shit I've never heard of

[sharp patrol]

Only 90 minutes left of the FF run

[heady hemlock]

oh good

i almost slept through all of it

[sharp patrol]

Kaizo Vice City?!

[sharp patrol]

They oversold the idea of "Kaizo Vice City"

[heady hemlock]

well at least the actual kaizo run is next

[sharp patrol]

Over estimate

They killed Golf with your Grandma but they won't kill this overestimate run...

[heady hemlock]

if we keep moving the goalposts none of them will be over estimate

[sharp patrol]

What do you mean moving the goalposts? I have it muted

NOW A SHOWCASE?!

[sharp patrol]

Real Kaizo time

I heard they added more hops

My favourite beer is 1906

That donnie was hilarious

[heady hemlock]

fuckin gottem

"I HATE BLOCKS"

"Kids when they want to play with car"

[sharp patrol]

Denmark has declared war

[heady hemlock]

i fear the biggest takeaway from this week for me is gonna be the fact that the oven meme is a speedrunner thing

[sharp patrol]

⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️

TOTK is for sure the highlight so far

Still 1.5 days of marathon to go tho

[jolly temple]

the 3 hour "all dungeons" run?

[sharp patrol]

Yeah

Plus 10m special glitch showcase right after

Beer Kaizo is over and I still have beer left

0/10

Joke regrab

[sharp patrol]

Nintendo Championship time

Great race

Kirby's absolute banger music

[heady hemlock]

[sharp patrol]

$4000 from a non-sponsor!

[heady hemlock]

hey i've seen this before

[sharp patrol]

The fact this trial ends with an SMB any% is just perfect and beautiful

[heady hemlock]

it's nice enough to give rewinds at least

[sharp patrol]

Yeah it's a great mechanic for a race format

Timeloss, but not HUGE time loss

Like, earlier this week we had the sync SMB race and that was great

And if we had that PLUS rewind, it would be peak for sure

[heady hemlock]

it could let ace catch up

[sharp patrol]

FTR: the WR for this category is 20m and change

God damn that's fast

[sharp patrol]

I felt the same way until the end. That's the great thing || Even tho Blues was in the lead since Challenge 2 or 3, it never felt like a sure victory. If he had one or just two rewinds more, that's all it would've taken ||

[heady hemlock]

Last place but he WEAVED through those hammers

[sharp patrol]

Great race

No idea what the next run even is, but I'll hold out until the end of Tetris

[sharp patrol]

That was beautiful and disgusting

Prizes segments are always so unhinged

I'd say "Take the prizes away from Sent" but that might do more harm than good

[heady hemlock]

They were hinting to turn the color on for SO long

and production was just like "nah you made this bit, commit to it"

[sharp patrol]

50 years from now I hope Sent is still doing prizes

Absolutely unhinged segment.

11/10

[sharp patrol]

Tetris taking the title of longest setup

As it always does

[heady hemlock]

damnit

i had money on Blue

[sharp patrol]

Only about an hour late on the schedule

[heady hemlock]

oh it might be starting now

[sharp patrol]

TETRIS

Finally

[heady hemlock]

Eric looks in trouble

[sharp patrol]

MACKIE LOCKED IN

It's amazing the one who talks the most is doing the best

So fucking good

Extremely common GDQ Tetris W. 19/10

Still amazed by Mackie

I'm just thinking back of the Mario Wii piano run

[heady hemlock]

hey it went better than last event's tetris run

I still don't know how these people can do invisible tetris

[sharp patrol]

Stack Fast And Clean

It's that simple

[sharp patrol]

They breathe Tetris.
They see Tetris.
They dream Tetris.

[heady hemlock]

jesus

[sharp patrol]

I'd love to see that indistinguishable-block section beaten live on GDQ

IT would be so

[heady hemlock]

Now THIS is Horse Tilting

[heady hemlock]

oh we're gonna have to do the super stall strats for this one

[heady hemlock]

i swear there might be a gas leak at the venue

[heady hemlock]

oh hey I see those things at my local conventions

[heady hemlock]

mmm

monke

[sharp patrol]

Normal Deus Ex moment

[full cipher]

wow the oot run is gonna be no logic rando

[sharp patrol]

Yeah I'm so hyped

[buoyant oak]

With or without RBA?

[full cipher]

would be more fun without so they should do that

[buoyant oak]

Yeah

[sharp patrol]

🥥🗿🍍 time

[heady hemlock]

Wow I love Sunshine

[sharp patrol]

Coming up next is everyone's favourite:
3 hours of Pokemon

[jolly temple]

and this is why I ask y'all for the highlights

still have HFW and TotK to watch

[heady hemlock]

I'm gonna watch monkey ball

And peggle

[full cipher]

better be a good pokemon this time

[heady hemlock]

It's Oras

An Oras race

[full cipher]

did you know they go to space in that one

[heady hemlock]

Isn't that postgame

[sharp patrol]

I thought space came to you in that one

[heady hemlock]

We may be getting lesbians

[heady hemlock]

wait hold on Sent's doing a bit

[sharp patrol]

Unhinged start

Never a normal pokemon run

[heady hemlock]

Ranking all the Eeveelutions

1. You
2. Can't
3. Rank
4. Them
5. They're
6. All
7. Good
8. Leafeon

[sharp patrol]

I'm so confused

[heady hemlock]

You can see the mouse cursor on Corvimae's screen

[sharp patrol]

I just realised the host is on the couch

That's a first

$1.5M

The rest of the marathon is an easy 1M more

[sharp patrol]

Chimecho is pronounced chimecho, it's obvious

So nice of Fauna to unretire for GDQ

[heady hemlock]

okay well

apparently the saxaphone run is a BONUS incentive

which means 150K in 3 hours let's get it

[sharp patrol]

Lesbian%

[heady hemlock]

Lesbians 2

[sharp patrol]

It takes two to be lesbian

90% accurate means it misses every time

They were cabin mates

[heady hemlock]

wow a pokemon run that ended under estimate

[sharp patrol]

They said it could never be done

Elden Ring time baby

[heady hemlock]

Good grief they're naked

none of the spaces mean anything to me

[sharp patrol]

FOOLISH TARNISHED

Based host Xenadir

That was stupidly close for that square

Damn, Mesmer already

GREED VANQUISHED

[heady hemlock]

REACH OUT AND TOUCH GRACE

[sharp patrol]

Wait, so Adef finished a square but didn't mark it?

Is that what "hiding squares" means?

[sharp patrol]

How the hell did we not met Saxophone yet

First try Radahn would've been ridiculous, but that was a great try

[sharp patrol]

The incentive was $55k away when I made that comment, now it's $11k.
Never doubt GDQ

[heady hemlock]

man i love stalling

[sharp patrol]

Almost as natural as TOTK's

Cloud really was a natural at it

And they had to do it solo

I definitely think this was the best possible way to show Elden Ring DLC for the first time in a GDQ

I feel if you did any% or 100% it would feel too samey to regular Elden Ring, which has been in every GDQ for 2 years maybe

This manages to show most of the new DLC content while also making it feel like a fresh run

[sharp patrol]

🎷🎷🎷🎷

Malenia Blade of Miquella

[heady hemlock]

HITLESS???

[sharp patrol]

Never doubt an alternate-controller runner

I believe in him

This is peak

[heady hemlock]

Man I love Super Mario Sunshine secret levels

[sharp patrol]

Get dooted

DEMIGOD DOOTED

[heady hemlock]

Est DOOT

[heady hemlock]

HEY HEY

ARE YOU READY FOR CRAAAAZY TAXI

[sharp patrol]

[teal ridge]

What a GDQ

[heady hemlock]

Definitely in the top for this week

OH NO

[sharp patrol]

Don't get me wrong, this segment is great

But also very much an excuse to make an appeal grab? If that makes sense?

Which maybe works, idk. I'd definitely rather be watching a "real" speedrun right now

But if it gets them people and donations, it's the right choice

[teal ridge]

Honestly, GDQ is always about fast, having fun, and being positive.

Or at least it tries.

[heady hemlock]

Well we have 3 and a half hours of OOT next

[sharp patrol]

Yeah back to good ol' classic speedrunning, while also being a fresh run

This was not anti-GDQ, to be clear

[sharp patrol]

This is true, but GDQ is definitely also about showing new things new runs and new games, and I guess this fits that scenario

I wasn't never complaining really but I see now the concert was a lot less Out of Place than I thought

It was just an excuse to have a concert for 20m on the last day, but it wasn't a bad thing nor a bad excuse

[teal ridge]

I mean yeaaaah

I do see what you mean, although it is fun and did get me to donate just now lmao.

[sharp patrol]

Yeah

[teal ridge]

All this organization isn’t easy

[sharp patrol]

And it was just 20m

I just feel weird about it but it's not wrong or bad ultimately

[teal ridge]

True

Like I think the worst moments are honestly the “commentary breaks” I do think they’re trying too hard at times.

Sent is fine tho lol

[sharp patrol]

For sure, but I do get most of the time they're filling in dead space for setup moments

[heady hemlock]

it's stalling for meeting incentives

[sharp patrol]

I also feel that way about sponsor segments or "PCF video time" segments but I always know it's not a good feeling or critique, it's just your brain wanting constant estimulation

[sharp patrol]

Also that

[teal ridge]

You’re right about that

[sharp patrol]

There's also the Prizes segments, which are very much necessary

The prizes are gorgeous, you gotta show them, you gotta inform what you can enter to win in the next X runs

And Sent does a good job of being entertaining by being unhinged

But any decent or mediocre speedrun will always beat him in entertainment

[teal ridge]

Just a little for this year

[sharp patrol]

Are those prizes?

[teal ridge]

Nah, merch that donates a portion to pcf

Its from Fangamer

You do need to pay shipping & the taxes, and shipping wont occur until late April.

They got some cool stuff like desk mats which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I still got mine with the Arcade style floor.

[sharp patrol]

The current thing

I get it's stalling but it's shit

[teal ridge]

yep

[sharp patrol]

I'd rather have a host reading donations

[teal ridge]

Or maybe learn more about speedruns

and how they work

new concepts

[sharp patrol]

Or idk, couldn't we get a cam or a "Journalist" segment into the practice room or pinball room or something?

[teal ridge]

YEAH

THAT WOULD BE COOL!

[sharp patrol]

I do like the interviews

Of future runs

[teal ridge]

Showing how runners practice maybe.

[sharp patrol]

And I liked that for many of the interviews this year, they were playing the game the interviewed runner would later play

The interviewer would play the game and try things while the future runner would explain things

[heady hemlock]

Echoes of Wisdom so good it's on the lineup twice

[sharp patrol]

I'm staying up late for this OoT no logic rando run, and I'm already upset by the late start, but I get some slight comfort knowing the estimate has to be an ABSOLUTE WORST CASE SCENARIO estimate

I wonder how long it will actually be

[teal ridge]

"i don't know, im dumb"

"that makes two of us!"

"hoo-raaay!"

[sharp patrol]

More Zelda than TOTK?

Woah

For the brave

You ever just wake up underwater, drowning?

[heady hemlock]

thank god the cute character choice won

[sharp patrol]

Dampe making Link sounds upsets me

DEKU NUTS

[teal ridge]

I know I've never properly played OoT but what is this name?

[heady hemlock]

this is a baby seed

[teal ridge]

Is this the descendant of Jar Jar Binks?

[sharp patrol]

Tiny Dampe is both cute and cursed

[heady hemlock]

Jabu Jabu's a big whale

and a dungeon

[teal ridge]

oh

[sharp patrol]

Oh, ToT is open, makes sense

[heady hemlock]

is this better

[sharp patrol]

GROWN UP DAMPE

[heady hemlock]

he's got a shovel

[sharp patrol]

GAMBA

Kokiri Sword is for sure behind the three gems

[heady hemlock]

I want the fool

HORSE TILT

[teal ridge]

🐴

[sharp patrol]

The excitement about the bottle gives me bad vibes. I understand exploiting glitches to overcome the no-logic but bottles make everything possible if you allow them

[heady hemlock]

Oh you can climb that

[sharp patrol]

I missed it, when did he get a wallet upgrade?

[heady hemlock]

ghost dampe

[sharp patrol]

Autocorrect is for FOOLS

Classic Saria teaching you Bolero of Fire

[full cipher]

i just tuned in and he just entered midos house 25 minutes in smh

[sharp patrol]

YOU ARE A FOOL!!

[heady hemlock]

YOU ARE A FOOL

[sharp patrol]

MUIP

[heady hemlock]

Mweep

[sharp patrol]

200 rupees for a FOOL trap?
Easiet purchase of my life

[full cipher]

i think i will go to bed he is probably still working on this in 8 hours

[sharp patrol]

Nah bro, I believe

[heady hemlock]

[sharp patrol]

WOW this run really opened up suddenly

[heady hemlock]

I'm so glad I won the initial gamba though

[sharp patrol]

Bomb bag was right there, so easy, the whole time

YOU FOOL

[heady hemlock]

DAD!

[sharp patrol]

Dampe stock 📈

Ranch music is somehow perfect for BotW

Not to be confused with BotW

[heady hemlock]

yay Horse Race

[sharp patrol]

[heady hemlock]

Dampe is very bad at BLJs

[sharp patrol]

He still hasn't learned what the B stands for

[heady hemlock]

oh

those boots

2 Mil

[teal ridge]

OoT Glitch Exhibition met

That only leaves Echos of Wisdom Glitch Exhibition, and its getting there.

[heady hemlock]

yeah i guess we can stall one more time

[teal ridge]

Incentive met after that stall lmao

Coulda had an accidental death to keep it exciting

This guy really is a matpat

[heady hemlock]

well

i know where this is going

yep

Godspeed, Sent

[teal ridge]

He is now a Wizard

I'm sure we'll get to see him occasionally behind the scenes.

random moment

[heady hemlock]

oh

that's not a woman

that's 2 links in a power suit

[heady hemlock]

Save wins!

WHAT A PHOTO FINISH

[teal ridge]

AGDQ 2025 surpassed AGDQ 2024

[heady hemlock]

All of it surprisingly under estimate

[teal ridge]

by 10.5 seconds

Awesome Games Done Quick 2025 has wrapped up.

$2,556,500 dollars has been raised. (total will still be calculated of course)

[heady hemlock]

SGDQ will be July 6-12 in Minneapolis

[teal ridge]

Yeh

[heady hemlock]

time to raid the random sucker

[sharp patrol]

Continuing the No Logic OOT run where I left off

This is such a fun run

[full cipher]

time for totk on the treadmill

how long is it

[sharp patrol]

That was like almost 3h I think

[full cipher]

gonna be a hell of a run..

[full cipher]

I made it halfway through

15km

[full cipher]

really good speedrun so far

[sharp patrol]

Yeah TOTK was great

[buoyant oak]

Oh wait ZFG is running the randomizer

[sharp patrol]

Ye, he was great

I have only Super metroid race left

Echoes of Wisdom was neat

[sharp patrol]

AGDQ 2025

I love the two Links in a trenchcoat

[sharp patrol]

HOLY HELL

[arctic quarry]

https://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick Welcome back. See the pin for more info.

[heady hemlock]

SGDQ 2025

[full cipher]

hi

@sharp patrol

[sharp patrol]

This totally sneaked up on me

Starts now?

[full cipher]

same...

I just happened to open twitch and it was live

apparently it just started

[heady hemlock]

Why is Greg an emote

[coral trench]

lets see that schedule

I wonder if they cant have OoTMM on this because its too modded so they might get Nintendo on their ass

Spikevegeta

[sharp patrol]

More like

Spikevegoata

hehehe

[full cipher]

that would have been a great voice joke

[heady hemlock]

Isn't Omega-101 a vitamin

I'm looking at the yetee shirts

the celeste one is pretty

[full cipher]

Wtf????????

[heady hemlock]

Alright, time for the first run

[heady hemlock]

And first one done

[ivory siren]

[heady hemlock]

Okami's next

A game I have 100% twice, despite what my steam page says

[teal ridge]

I... uhh..... is this supposed to be visible to anyone?

[ivory siren]

hmm, where is that?

[teal ridge]

tracker.gamesdonequick dot com

I somehow stumbled upon it while trying to donate.

[ivory siren]

i think that shows what runs, prizes and such is available right?

[teal ridge]

During my attempt to donate, the site was giving me 403 errors and lots of script errors.

[ivory siren]

weird

[teal ridge]

It shows a lot of weird things.

You can see everyone who has donated.

Their messages.

[ivory siren]

oh dear. that's probably not intended

[teal ridge]

Maybe? I'm not sure.

[sharp patrol]

That's always been the case

There's nothing to hide. Display name and amount is not sensitive information

[ivory siren]

oh, ok then,

[teal ridge]

Ah okay, I got weirded out because I am getting lots of errors and I can't pick the bids.

[heady hemlock]

yeah, it's how i checked to see if my donations were made

[teal ridge]

[heady hemlock]

's working fine for me

[teal ridge]

that is a different form

wtf

[heady hemlock]

I was on the gdq website and clicked the donate on the upper right

[teal ridge]

[sharp patrol]

Classic

[heady hemlock]

"i love the art direction"

I really should 100% this game again

[teal ridge]

I need to resume playing.

[heady hemlock]

[heady hemlock]

Only in Okami do you beat a boss by getting it drunk

This is so good

[heady hemlock]

If the enemies are invisible why can they be hurt

[ivory siren]

Order of Ecclesia, Castlevania is on now

let's goo

[heady hemlock]

i love crab

[ivory siren]

[ivory siren]

that movement was crazy

[heady hemlock]

Time for hardcore stalling

[heady hemlock]

There we go

Hmm

Monke

[heady hemlock]

This is a very fun PVZ run

they have the dev/designer and he got so upset with the speedrun strats

[sharp patrol]

Blue Prince bingo race was so fucking good, and what a fun clever bingo they came up with

[sharp patrol]

Watching the PVZ run. How is it in the year 2025 people still go on calls with the most garbage microphones.

[sharp patrol]

Great pseudoregalia run

[ivory siren]

ah i'll have to catch the VOD

[heady hemlock]

despite all the jank SA2 is one of my favorites

[heady hemlock]

what is this star wars crawl

[heady hemlock]

this is a neat Archipelago

what it lacks in memeable cutscenes it delivers in pop quizzes, bees, and fishing

[teal ridge]

500,000 milestone was not hit.

Damn.

[heady hemlock]

well we got it now

[teal ridge]

Yeah I guess.

[heady hemlock]

think i'm gonna go catch the mario romhack vod

[heady hemlock]

I'm pretty sure Super Ultra Dead Rising 3 Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX + Alpha New Game + would've been in the silly block

[heady hemlock]

ooh back from work in time for the baseball run

[heady hemlock]

well i'm not standing up to those 2 eevee bidwars, i'll just wait for X/Y

[full cipher]

give it up for super mario odyssey

[full cipher]

kinda funny how dead even this pokemon race is

3 and a half hours in

[sharp patrol]

Dead the run, or dead in hype?

[heady hemlock]

Wii Music?

[heady hemlock]

this might be the first run with participation from home

dangit

I got #26 on the 3rd game

[heady hemlock]

oh wait I get it

this is stalling for Mario Odyssey

[heady hemlock]

The Pokemon run was entertaining. Yeah the long runs drone on but the couch and players and the bingo game made it engaging.

[heady hemlock]

This is a

wild preview of silly block

[heady hemlock]

What an insane Odyssey run

[heady hemlock]

are we sure this aew isn't silly block

[sharp patrol]

I'm so hyped for silly bloc

[full cipher]

:3

[heady hemlock]

"The Shaq Fu community" like that's a normal thing to say

[teal ridge]

Mario Paint: "YEeEeEEEHAAAAAW!"

Classic Silly moment

[sharp patrol]

Interactive movie games are so wild

Wild genre

Great week for horse fans

[heady hemlock]

Feeesh

What accent are they trying to do

[sharp patrol]

Generic southern

[heady hemlock]

It sounds vaguely Australian

[sharp patrol]

How can she slap

Very Kaguya-coded

[heady hemlock]

alright woke back up for the relay

[sharp patrol]

Imagine losing your entire lead to putting on headphones

Damn that perfect clear was disgusting

[heady hemlock]

I love SpikeVegeta runs

[heady hemlock]

[sharp patrol]

So excited for the Spelunky triathlon coming up next

[sharp patrol]

Spelunky and not showing mercy, name a better duo

Professional speedrunner beaten by merciless Spelunky classic. Truly the strongest roguelike

[sharp patrol]

I know so little about France, I hope this pokemon run is a good one

[full cipher]

im locking in to learn pokemon names

[sharp patrol]

Bro you know they're only gonna catch one pokemon or something

But maybe we'll learn some from the fights

[full cipher]

but they are gonna fight plenty

is this the game with emboar

or the furry

its the fkn furry isnt it

[sharp patrol]

Fenneking is from this one for sure

I don't know why I have that one locked in

[full cipher]

[sharp patrol]

I guess witch gives France vibes

[full cipher]

Is Greninja in this or is he black and white

[sharp patrol]

Must be yeah, Greninja

The spy one is from the UK

[full cipher]

who is the spy one

[sharp patrol]

So who's the grass one? One of the monkeys? The one with a drum?

[full cipher]

thats pokemon sword

[sharp patrol]

Inteleon

Then this must be Chespin

[full cipher]

Gamefreak really thinks we're stupid

[sharp patrol]

France gets the ninja for some reason, the witch and the chestnut

[full cipher]

No Inteleon is UK

ah ye Greninja..

I cant think of a more forgotten starter

gotta be a toss up between this guy and Popplio

[sharp patrol]

Yeah, the duck at least looks good in Violet, even though nobody would ever choose him, like Koraidon

Can't believe Chespin is the speedrun choice

[coral trench]

put some respect on my beloved chesnaught i think that line is great

[sharp patrol]

One day I hope we can skip the explanation of what STAB means like we skip superhero origins in movies

I can't believe I'm watching a Farfetch run

Sorry, Quacklin

[full cipher]

this isnt even the game where he has a sword and shield

[heady hemlock]

Well yeah we already had our sword and shield run

[sharp patrol]

This guy's team gets absolutely demolished by ice

[full cipher]

Problem

Mario Maker relay race time

No team shirts...

FIRST TRY?!

FIRST FUCKING TRY ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

[heady hemlock]

NO WAY

NO SHOT

THAT'S CRAZY

[sharp patrol]

Never seen before in GDQ

What a fucking beast

[heady hemlock]

alright no 2 in a row

[sharp patrol]

If that happened I'd've woken up from the simulation

Well, he's definitely the goat

[heady hemlock]

Built different

[sharp patrol]

Of his team and overall

2-0 1v4

What's his name again?

Or they or she I don't know

[heady hemlock]

LilKirbs

[sharp patrol]

He isn't running or commentating anything else, past or future

Shame, but I will check his stream after GDQ for sure

[heady hemlock]

Frames with the comback

Oooh, the kaizoblocks

big oof

That up pipe's a pain

Made the up pipe at the last minute

[sharp patrol]

Great stage

[heady hemlock]

THE COMBEACK

Thabeast!

Aaand intermission

[sharp patrol]

Amazing

[heady hemlock]

GG

[sharp patrol]

That last section of this fifth level was insane

[heady hemlock]

The blocks are evil

THAB

HE'S IS THA BEAST

[sharp patrol]

Unbeatable

[heady hemlock]

DOOR STUCK

They didn't know the buttons

[sharp patrol]

This icicle level is very interesting

[heady hemlock]

Thab's just built different

[sharp patrol]

LilKirbs can't carry a whole team

Though he tried

Yeah, this relay race really is fun every year. Maybe it will never be as good as the first time, but I don't mind if the mario maker relay race is a consistent repeat slot. It's just fun to watch

COME ON PERFECT PIXELS

[heady hemlock]

but BY GOD HE'S CARRYING HARD

[sharp patrol]

THAT'S CRAZY

Mario Maker can do this?

WTF

[heady hemlock]

AND THEY TAKE IT

UNBELIEVABLE

[sharp patrol]

Crazy run

Crazy final level

[heady hemlock]

LET'S GO GAMBLING

Stuntman immediately AND INVISIBLE???

i know this is going fast but the luck he's getting for the jokers is crazy

[sharp patrol]

And it was random seed

But I guess it makes up for Spelunky

[heady hemlock]

BOTH COPY CARDS???

this might breeze through the estimate

Dev dono!

[heady hemlock]

Woo!

[languid geode]

pump it up next i'm so excited

i love rhythm games so much

[heady hemlock]

Several rhythm showcases in the same GDQ

I remember back when they were only one per event

[languid geode]

i don't really watch sgdq or agdq but i saw pump it up in my followed channels so i was like YES i have to see this

[heady hemlock]

Man's doing this blind

[heady hemlock]

Wow, The Megas

this is some old school stuff

[heady hemlock]

oh boy i woke up for 4 hours of final fantasy

[sharp patrol]

4 hours of menus

Everyone's favourite

At least it's 9

[heady hemlock]

wow crazy how Deltarune Chapters 1+2 are scheduled at 9:30 and the estimate is an hour and a half yet the finale is early Sunday

almost as if Chapters 3+4 are gonna be the last incentive

[heady hemlock]

oh they added Monkey Ball to the schedule

[sharp patrol]

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY STARS

[heady hemlock]

Wow they have 120 stars and the timer didn't start yet

this runner's good

[sharp patrol]

1996

That's a wild first star

Second try cannon star, smh

1.7M seems pretty low

For 3rd or 4th last game of the GDQ

[arctic quarry]

1.7M is a bit low. They might surpass 2018's 2.1M, but I don't see it reaching 2023 or 2020's 2.2-2.3M.

[sharp patrol]

They'll break 2M for sure yeah

There's always 200k or 300k added from bits and shit on twitch. But this year they introduced the direct-from-twitch donation integration, that may hav impacted that number

[arctic quarry]

There's also the general economics bit too. Not exactly the best and most stable situation globally.

[sharp patrol]

Still, 2M for sure but I still have a low stimate for the final total. Worst total of the last 5 years maybe?

This is a wild fucking strat

I'm so confused

[heady hemlock]

250k away

[sharp patrol]

Bouncing out of the skybox is intended?

[heady hemlock]

He's cracked

[heady hemlock]

Someone just donated 3,100 to put Meemee in the lead

Alright

40k left

stalling strats go

[teal ridge]

After enough stalling, another million has hit. 2 million.

[heady hemlock]

at least this stall had another monkey ball run

[teal ridge]

Ch3&4 incentive now open.

$300,000

[heady hemlock]

yep there it is

[teal ridge]

“I’m using the new Switch 2 controller because I’m tired of the drift”

He knows what’s up!

[heady hemlock]

THE TOBY???

20K from the man himself???

[heady hemlock]

Stall harder baybee

[heady hemlock]

Alright, almost certainly gonna do all chapters out

[teal ridge]

$2,436,614-19 approx.

[heady hemlock]

AGDQ Jan 4-10

[sharp patrol]

That's an early as fuck AGDQ

[arctic quarry]

Guess I was wrong with those final numbers. GG

[sharp patrol]

Not by much. The final total beat my estimate by a couple hundred k, and 2.4M is still nothing to feel bad about

But it's still the second lowest total for SGDQ in the last 5 years

These Borderlands runs seem to have different ways of working every time they get shown

[heady hemlock]

12K FROM A MONKEY???

[heady hemlock]

Wow that was a very intense for an Animal Crossing race

[noble loom]

... Oh my GOD I'M MISSING GDQ AGAIN?

[heady hemlock]

well not all of it

only about half of it

[heady hemlock]

None of this is road safe

This American Truck race is so scuffed

[sharp patrol]

I forgot I wanted to watch that

I guess I'll add the VOD to the list

At least I get to be awake for Awful Block

Always the best time of the marathon

The Kiosk run from early today in the horror block is very entertaining

[heady hemlock]

god that run was a mess

in the best way

[heady hemlock]

what the hell is that

[ivory siren]

Trans shrek it seems?

[uneven folio]

What.

[ivory siren]

It must be like layer 4 memes at GDQ crowd haha

[heady hemlock]

Oh right sometimes speedrun races can just be actual races

You know this reminds me of the Whinny City/Ciderfest Mario Kart tournaments

this one just has less drinking

[sharp patrol]

I watched that and what an absolute trainwreck

A truckwreck if you will

It was great

[heady hemlock]

Awful block tiiiiime

[sharp patrol]

Not for another 50m or so but yeah
